It is a striking piece of agitprop - propaganda for Brik's magazine and an index of its dedicated leftist vision.
"More of the Neanderthal brain appears to have been dedicated to vision and body control, leaving less brain to deal with other functions like social networking," Pearce told BBC News.
His research has shown that to interpret sound or touch, they rely on parts of their visual cortex normally dedicated to vision.
Thus, a short and transient period of visual deprivation early in life leads to enduring large-scale crossmodal reorganization of the brain circuitry typically dedicated to vision.
More of the brain is dedicated to vision than any other task, and that specialization goes all the way down to the cells themselves.
"Since Neanderthals evolved at higher latitudes, more of the Neanderthal brain would have been dedicated to vision and body control, leaving less brain to deal with other functions like social networking," she told BBC News.
A dedicated computer vision chip seems to be something that just about every electronic device could find a use for, but Intel's main pursuits for implementing Movidius Myriad chips are on drones, VR/AR headsets, robotics and smart cameras.
The typical functions of dedicated computer vision systems are data pre-processing, image segmentation, feature extraction, and decision making [ 113, 114].
Three closed questions dedicated to vision were asked during the interview: (1) Do you have trouble reading newspapers, books, etc... with your glasses, if you wear any? (2) Do you have trouble recognizing the features of someone standing four meters from you (with eyeglasses or contact lenses, if you usually wear any)?
Then finally there is Camera-Link®, which is a proven dedicated machine-vision interface developed by some of the major players in the machine vision market [34].
